Summoner Spells:
-ghost/cleanse: no exception

Masteries:
0/21/9: the things should be obvious

Runes:
Reds: Armor Pen
Yellows: Mana regen/level or dodge
blues: Mana regen/level
Quints: Flat Health

The reason you get mana regen for blues and yellows is it gives GREAT mana regen so you can farm with your spirit fire and it allows you to skip chalice saving you 1k gold.

Spell Order:
ult > spirit fire > wither > siphon strike

Reasoning Behind this: Obviously get ult at 6/11/16. Now siphon strike is your main focus. You want to last his WHEN EVER POSSIBLE, this will be your bread and butter. The reasoning you only need 1 point in it is because you just need to last hit without, if u cant land the hit, quit now. Wither is surprisingly amazing level'd up, at level 5, they practically wont be able to move. Now spirit fire is just plain amazing for farming, hence u want to max spirit fire first.

Item Build:
Core Items: sheen/merc's/aegis

-Start with saphire crystal and 2 health pots. This will go into a sheen, this will double ur damage on your siphone strike.
-boots: Merc's is usually a must because u dont want to get caught with your pants down and can't get your ult up. Swiftness is your second option, also pretty good.
-Aegis: This is a very good item for nasus because he has a naturally high life with his ult.

From here it is all situational:

If you want more dps:
-starks - great all around item and helps your team mates, clashes well with aegis
-tri force - if you want to finish off your sheen

If you want magic res:
-i recomend banshee's over FoN because, like before, you dont want to get stunned.

If you need some armor:
-i recomend Guardian angel first on Nasus, i find it works well with him. You can always get anything really such as thorn mail, etc.



Got any questions or feed back on things you think i should change, just let me know

I approve this guide, surprisingly enough. Except that in really srus games, I'd venture to say that Aegis takes item priority and that Starks arguably afterwards. I've seen high ELO Nasus's skip Sheen entirely until after Aegis/Starks.

Also, Sunfire is surprisingly effective on Nasus, but is extraordinarily situational.

all in all, vouch-worthy.

my entire life, i have been longing for giveuptheghost's approval
now that i have it, i dont know where to go from here

but yeah i usually get starks after aegis. Havnt got sunfire too often with him tho, usually by that point it will be game over

Can't say I agree with maxing Siphon last.

u dont have to leave just 1 point till the end, can level wither/ss together but i always prioritize spirit fire first

fail guide is fail
it made me go 15-2-5 on tt

terrible guide made me pro

damn

mabe one day



havnt tried that, might some time

Very nice, I'll add to to the list I'm giving Tears.
